@SteveDaulton
with the STRs above, on macOS it produces the following output:

Are you sure no steps are missing here?

Are you sure no steps are missing here?

The macro is correct.
Assuming that you copied the macro correctly, that error message shows that Audacity failed to run the macro correctly.

LWinterberg added the Could not reproduce

Does that mean that you got the expected result?
Did you try running it several times?

Ran into this same issue last night. Ended up rolling all the way back to Audacity release 3.1.3 which does not have the issue.

This has become worse in the new 3.4.0 release. I'm now consistently getting this error:
